Rush Doubts Oprah's Racism Claims: Maybe It's Because She's "Fat"

Rush: "If I Were Oprah I Would Be So Thankful I Could Go Some Place And Not Be Recognized"

After Oprah Winfrey told Entertainment Tonight that she had experienced what she felt was a case of racial discrimination during a shopping trip, conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh appeared skeptical that an African-American woman of wealth and fame could still be discriminated against and wondered whether the real reason for the poor treatment was "because 'The Oprah's' fat."

During a trip to Switzerland in late July, Winfrey was shopping at an upscale boutique where a store clerk reportedly told Winfrey that she could not afford a purse that Winfrey had asked to see. Winfrey, whom the clerk apparently did not recognize, has an estimated net worth of $2.8 billion according to CNN. The Swiss Office of Tourism has since apologized to Winfrey for the incident.

Limbaugh, who refers to Winfrey as "The Oprah," responded to Winfrey's claim with skepticism, saying, "Obviously [the store owner] who thought [Oprah] was a black person, couldn't afford anything, and she wanted you out of the store." Later, Rush asserted that "we don't know that the sales person based her judgment on The Oprah's skin color," before asking, "Maybe it's because The Oprah's fat? Well that's another -- how was The Oprah dressed? I mean she didn't look like The Oprah obviously. Was she wearing jump suit with tennis shoes? Maybe Air Jordans that weren't laced up?"

1. He is just jealous of her portfolio.

Since his is shrinking as fast as the rats can flee the ship.

2. It's one of the most common manifestations of misogyny that men feel free to pass judgment

on women's looks, even when the men are themselves fat, ugly, or whatever. Just being a man puts him in a position to express judgment on any woman and expect people to listen and accept.

I seem to remember Limbaugh criticizing Michelle Obama's physique, unbelievably.

3. Yup. Rush likes to call her "Moochelle."

As in "Moose" and "Michelle" combined.

Rush is a fat, feral lazy pig.

[Shrike47]

4. Rush is a racist. Always has been, always will be.

And a misogynist, of course.

10. Didja notice his dog whistle

in referring to "Air Jordans not laced up"?

[CBGLuthier]

5. I hope I live long enough to see the day when that ass does NOT say something

disgusting and pathetic. I am sure that day will come. The day after the greasy fuck dies.

6. I just don't uderstand and probably never will ...

why does anyone waste their time listening to the drivel
that oozes out of this pathetic loser's sewer hole?

[gollygee]

7. This is a common double standard

Have you ever seen a fat guy get out of a vehicle with a "no fat chicks" bumper sticker? Lots of people see weight problems in women differently than weight problems in men.

8. His argument actually defies LOGIC

An overweight person would more often than not be seen as a person of means, where a black woman in Switzerland would certainly not.

9. Pigman...pigman...

Enough said.

[Chisox08]

11. The guy with his ownn gravitational field called someone else fat?

If someone was to throw a rock towards him it would go in orbit around his fat ass.

[City Lights]

12. He must not have any mirrors in his house.

He is a malignant growth on society.

[RebelOne]

13. Isn't that a case of the pot calling the kettle black? n/t

[gulliver]

14. It's just an attempt to claw his way out of the toilet.

Pick a fight with Oprah and maybe a few idiot-heads will come back to listen for a few more precious seconds.
